Title: So about this newbie thing...
Post by: Ood Sigma on January 17, 2013, 04:10 am
As a vendor, it would be nice to be able to comment on my thread that is currently residing in the product offers section. Was this considered when creating a newbie section? I don't want to have to make some 50 posts about nothing in here just to be able to update my existing threads elsewhere.

Makes perfect sense - vendors should have access without 50 posts I believe .....

Damn, I thought vendors wouldn't need 50 post.

It would be stupid to buy a vendor account for 500 to just spam

Message sent to the admins. Hopefully one of them will respond quickly. I guess there is nothing for me to do tonight on here.

I was looking forward to writing that report for you, Sigma :/ Once I hit 50, I will.

I look forward to reading it Shadow. If you aren't above the 50 post limit when you have it ready, I'm sure we can find some kind soul to cross post it :)

And for the record, I am not upset about this new rule, I just hope they figure a way for even new vendors to still be able to maintain a thread for themselves in the main forum.

I agree it's a bit strange to have posts in other sections already, then one day have to post only.in a newbie forum, but oh well. Time for us to buckle down and chew through it. Then I can play with the adults again... Good luck getting back into your thread! Must suck to get locked out of your vendor thread...

oopse sounds like an oversight, vendors should definately not have to be stuck here on the naughty step

So you can decode/unencrypt a message someone else sent you, but not encrypt one?  is gpgtools the name of the program you are using?

Because of these new rules I must spam SR forum before I can contribute.. hmm, good work.

you would think that a vendor account would be able to post regardless

vendors must prove themselves by making a certain number of illicit transactions before their account is upgraded

If you have GPG tools installed, make sure you go into System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services and "check" all of the OpenPGP items. Then restart your computer.

This thread helped LOADS when I was first starting out "http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=88474.0"

I'm right there with you on this. I posted a review thread when I first became a vendor and have pretty much just lurked in the forums since then. Today, I wanted to reply to a post and was confused as hell trying to figure out how to reply. I finally saw the Newbie section and figured out the new Newbie rules. What a pain in the ass but I can live with it if it keeps the spam under control.

I requested access to the vendor forum. I wonder if I will be able to post there.
